1.0 Technical Information

1.1 Introduction

The HS-3100/3200 Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) is the heart of a sophisticated
microprocessor based fire detection system. Meeting the demands of economy and capability,
these modular panel offer support for one or two loops of up to 198 devices on each loop.

Optional modules mount directly to the chassis. Modules are available that provide additional NAC
output circuits, function relay output circuits, annunciation, etc. This modular approach to system
design virtually guarantees that as your needs -- and applicable local codes -- evolve, your FACP
can change along with them.

Networking can be utilized to provide additional input circuits, visual zones, bell circuits and relays.
Up to 254 units (FACPs and/or annuciators) can be connected to form the Cla ss A Style 7 (DCLR)
network loop.

Programming the HS3100/3200 has two components: Input circuit programming and special
features, such as day/night mode, et cetera, are done from an externally generated database
produced on a Windows based PC, while system parameters are programmed from the LCD and
keypad.

This manual covers the installation of the HS3100 and HS-3200 Fire Alarm Control Panels. For
Programming and Operating Instructions, please refer to the appropriate manuals.

1.5 General Installation Requirement s

The information provided with this unit is intended as a guide. Installation of this equipment,
optional system components, alarm initiating devices and notification appliances must follow the
manufacturer's guidelines as contained in their respective installation documents, all applicable
codes and the instructions of the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction.

Manufacturer’s Documents

When installing the fire alarm control panel, refer to this manual. When installing optional system
components refer to the installation documents included with those components. When installing
compatible alarm initiating devices or notification appliances, refer to the installation documents
included with those products.

Field Wiring

Field wiring recommendations in this document are intended as guidelines. All field wiring must be
installed in accordance with the applicable national electrical codes, with all relevant local codes
and standards, and the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction.

Compatible Devices

Use UL or ULC listed smoke detectors and notification devices that are compatible with the fire
alarm control panel from the lists included in this manual.

1.6 System Verification

The complete fire alarm system must be verified for proper installation and operation when:

• The initial installation is ready for inspection by the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction;

• Any system component is added, changed or deleted;

• Any programming changes are made;

• System wiring has been altered or repaired;

• System failure due to the external influences such as lightning, water da mage or extended
power outages has occurred.

Standby Power

The fire alarm control panel uses sealed lead-acid rechargeable batteries as a secondary power
source in the event of a main power failure. The required capacity of the standby batteries must be
calculated using the charts and tables within this manual for the period as required by national or
local codes and standards. Even though the calculation table within this manual includes a safety
margin, lead-acid batteries commonly used for standby can have variable capacity as a result of
age and ambient conditions. Periodic inspection for damage and the batteries' ability to support
the attached equipment is highly recommended.

1.7 System Components

HS-XPS

Basic System

A basic system consists of the Back Box, Main Board,
Display Board and one transformer. Canadian versions
also include an Eight Zone LED Module.

Back Box

The enclosure includes the back box, outer door, dead
front door and hardware plate. It can be flush or su rface
mounted without requiring additional hardware.

Both the outer door and dead front doors are quickly
removable using pin-hinges. The hardware plate holds
the main printed circuit board a nd transformer(s). The
enclosure holds two transformers, one communicator
module (Dialer or City Connect) and up to three NAC o r
Relay expander modules.

Transformer

The FACP is shipped with a 120V/240V transform er.
The total NAC power can be increased by adding a

second transformer of the same voltage. The
expansion transformer is available as a separate order
item under model number HS-XPS.

HS-3100/3200 Installation Manual

Main Board

The HS-3100/3200 Main Board contains the system
power supply, master CPU and memory, two
Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs), four Auxiliary
Function Relays, two Auxiliary power points, one or two
Signal Line Circuits (SLCs), and communications ports
for the Display Board and optional equipment.

The HS-3100 Main Board has one SLC for connecting
System Sensor Addressable devices. The HS-3200
